Can ploticus be used as part of a commercial package or service?  The GPL 
does not allow ploticus code to be used within proprietary software that is to 
be distributed to others.  However, for cases where ploticus is included as a 
separate, distinct reporting utility within a larger package, I interpret GPL 
section 2 as requiring that GPL be attached only to ploticus, and not to the 
entire product.  For this to be allowed: 1) the rest of your product must be 
considered an independent and seperate work in its own right; 2) ploticus must 
be invoked using the pl(1) executable, not the libploticus API; 3) ploticus 
graphics capability may not be offered as an additional cost option; 
4) ploticus source code may not be modified or enhanced, except for changes to 
the Makefile or similar as needed for configuration or packaging; 5) ploticus 
identity and authorship must not be obfuscated of omitted-- a prominent statement 
must be visible to users to the effect that "graphs are produced using the 
Ploticus data display program (c) Steve Grubb.  The Ploticus program is freely 
downloadable at http://ploticus.sourceforge.net".  I also request that you notify 
me out of courtesy at scg@jax.org, and include a URL for your product.  If you 
have questions or need clarification in this area just ask.
